title: Neutralizing IGF-1 monoclonal antibody with cross-species reactivity.
abstract: We report the generation of a murine IGF-1 monoclonal antibody designated 35I17, which exhibits unique cross-species reactivity. The antibody recognizes recombinant human and rat IGF-1 in ELISA, Western blots, and in an 125I-recombinant human IGF-1 Scintillation Proximity Assay. In addition, 35I17 blocks cell proliferation induced by recombinant human and rat IGF-1, and inhibits cell proliferation induced by sera from human, rat, calf, dog, goat, or mouse. The antibody inhibits rat IGF-1 binding to IGF-1 receptors, and prevents IGF-1-stimulated receptor and IRS-1 phosphorylation in LISN C4 cells, an IGF-1 receptor-transfected cell line. The cross-species and neutralizing properties of 35I17 may be useful in in vitro and in vivo animal studies for elucidating the role of IGF-1 in cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases.
